Offering perspectives on sovereignty, economic upheaval, and America's role in world leadership, this episode provides a vital lens on the forces redefining our era.Walter Russell Mead is the Ravenel B.

Losing US Supremacy to China. Walter Russell Mead. In this Direct interview, John is joined by Walter Russell Mead, an American academic widely regarded for his incisive analysis of geopolitics and foreign affairs. In a wide ranging discussion, Walter and John consider the worrying isolationist streak that seems to be running through US politics, the continuing struggle for global ascendancy between China and the US, the effectiveness of nuclear deterrence in the 2020s, Western cultural decadence, and Israeli democracy. Walter provides his assessment of the ongoing war in Ukraine, where the conflict is headed and what a desperate Putin might do to achieve an unlikely victory. He concludes on a hopeful note, that emerging political leaders in the US seem to have the courage and conviction to guide their country through the challenges that confront them. Walter Russell Mead is the Ravenel B. Curry III Distinguished Fellow in Strategy and Statesmanship at Hudson Institute, the Global View Columnist at The Wall Street Journal and the James Clarke Chace Professor of Foreign Affairs and Humanities at Bard College in New York. He is also a member of Aspen Institute Italy and board member of Aspenia. He is also a member of Aspen Institute Italy and board member of Aspenia.

Back in the 70's running for women was pretty uncomfortable, wearing a traditional bra just didn't do the trick for support. Our guest Lisa Z. Lindahl was diagnosed with epilepsy at an early age and because of her complex relationship with her body, jogging became her sanctuary. Soon, the idea for her business breakthrough popped into her head: the Jogbra. Lisa's story is one about finding spirituality in running and liberating women through female-friendly sporting equipment. Join this conversation and listen to Lisa's empowering story of how her invention changed the lives of modern women and unleashed a whole new industry.  Before any world-changing innovation, there was a moment, an event, a realization that sparked the idea before it happened. This is a podcast about that moment — about that idea. Before IT Happened takes you on a journey with the innovators who imagined — and are still imagining — our future. Join host Donna Loughlin as her guests tell their stories of how they brought their visions to life.  JUMP STRAIGHT INTO: (02:37) - Lisa on growing up with epilepsy - “I had something called absence seizures. You just lose consciousness for a fraction of a second and people around me wouldn't know.” (05:50) - Lisa's creative aspirations in the 1960's - “There were no expectations for me. My parents hoped that some nice man would come along and marry me and take care of me.” (10:19) - The spirituality and connectedness of jogging - “I didn't run to compete. It was truly my first meditation. My first real spiritual practice came from running through the woods.” (15:04) - Finding a functional support solution for running - “I thought, ‘Why isn't there a bra that functions just for support for when I'm running?' And I sat down and wrote down what it would have to do.” (23:23) - From prototype to booming business - “We started getting so many orders right away. Not just from individuals, but from all these stores that it just took off.” (33:24) - Creating a new product for breast cancer patients - “I could not say no because I saw the pictures of these women and what they were enduring. It was kind of really a lovely flip-flop.” (38:37) - A story about women, feminism, and liberation - “That's why I wrote Unleash the Girls because it's about feminism. It's about how women deal with each other and how we face our insecurities.” EPISODE RESOURCES: Connect with Lisa on https://twitter.com/LisaZLindahl?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor (Twitter) and visit her website https://www.lisalindahl.com/ (lisalindahl.com) Get Lisa's book: https://www.amazon.com/Unleash-Girls-Untold-Invention-Changed/dp/1950282430/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= (Unleash the Girls: The Untold Story of the Invention of the Sports Bra and How It Changed the World (And Me)) Watch ESPN's documentary: https://vimeo.com/174135593 (Revolution: A History of the Sports Bra) Read an https://www.espn.com/espnw/culture/story/_/id/16674331/actress-director-eva-longoria-debuts-second-season-versus (interview with Eva Longoria) who directed ESPN's documentary on the Sports Bra Watch Brandi Chastain's retrospective interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cgdA6GfwD8 (The greatest moment in US Soccer history, 20 years later (Full Story) | FOX SOCCER) Read the Smithsonian's https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/how-first-sports-bra-got-stabilizing-start-180974427/?te=1&nl=well&emc=edit_hh_20220107 (How the First Sports Bra Got Its Stabilizing Start) Watch The Smithsonian's https://invention.si.edu/node/28532/p/611-lisa-lindahl-hinda-miller-polly-palmer-smith (interview with Lisa, Polly and Hinda)  Thank you for listening!

The recurrence of pandemics is an unfortunate reality in human history. Leaving a devastating trail of suffering and death, they disappear from public memory until such time that the demons surface again. Academic and author Chinmay Tumbe in his recent book, Age of Pandemics (1817-1920): How They Shaped India and the World, chronicles the many facets of the cholera, plague and influenza pandemics, which claimed over 70 million lives between 1817 and 1920 with India being the epicentre in all these episodes. In the first truly global treatment of one of the worst pandemics of all time, Pale Rider: The Spanish Flu of 1918 and How It Changed the World, author and science journalist Laura Spinney delves into lesser known details of that forgotten disaster. In conversation with surgeon and author Ambarish Satwik, they touch upon the science and psychology of pandemics and lessons from the past that may make us better understand the potential onset of zoonotic diseases in the future.

Global Pandemic Response Illustrates Consequences of America's Tunnel-Vision War on Terror (0:32)Guest: David Kilcullen, Former Advisor to the US in Iraq and Afghanistan, Professor of Practice in Global Security, Arizona State University, Author of “The Dragons and the Snakes: How the Rest Learned to Fight the West”One of the clearest lessons of this pandemic, so far, is that we are all in this together. We're so connected as a global community that a virus in one country will travel to another. The economic pains of the pandemic will not be isolated to just one part of the planet. So why haven't the world's nations done a better job coordinating our response to the coronavirus? In previous decades, the United States would have taken the lead in a global crisis like this – like the US did during the financial crisis that swept around the world in 2008. What's different now? Woman vs Woman - Dress Psychology (28:07)Guest:  Jaimie Krems, Assistant Professor of Psychology, Oklahoma State University, Co-Founder of the Oklahoma Center of Evolutionary AnalysisI'm guessing these mass quarantine measures have a lot of people wearing pajamas or workout clothes all day – what's the point of dressing up when you're not leaving the house? Deciding what to wear can be exhausting – at least for women, it is. There's the basic question of what's appropriate attire for the occasion. But there's also the fact that what a woman wears affects how both men and women treat her. PG-13 Movie Violence Reinforces Troubling Messages for Kids (39:57)Guest: Dan Romer, Research Director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center Is a lot of movie watching happening in your quarantined house? Over the last several decades, the amount of gun violence has doubled in PG-13 films. These are movies aimed at kids. And the gun violence they're seeing outpaces what's shown in R-rated movies. How's that affecting the way kids think about guns and violence? Researchers at the Annenberg Public Policy Center have been studying this for a long time and lately they've discovered that a particular type of violence in movies has an especially powerful effect on teen brains. The Fight for Equal Pay, Rights, & Opportunities in Sport (50:31)Guest: Joan Steidinger, PhD, Sports and Clinical Psychologist, Author of “Stand Up and Shout Out: Women's Fight for Equal Pay, Equal Rights, and Equal Opportunities in Sport”The head of the US Soccer Federation abruptly resigned last week amid a storm of criticism over its handling of a lawsuit from the Women's National Team. In a court filing, US Soccer argued that players on the men's team are stronger and faster and have more skill, so their higher pay is justified. The filing prompted immediate condemnation from fans and sponsors - and the quick resignation of US Soccer's president. But the organization is continuing to challenge the lawsuit from the Women's National Team, whose players argue that their lower levels of compensation are a violation of the federal Equal Pay Act, which guarantees the same pay for the same work, regardless of gender. It's been nearly fifty years since Title IX opened sports to women at all levels. Why do gender inequities in pay and access continue? Title IX Opened the Doors for Women in Sports, but They Needed This First. (1:09:10)Guest: Lisa Z. Lindahl, Inventor of Jogbra, Author of “Unleash the Girls: The Untold Story of the Invention of the Sports Bra and How It Changed the World (And Me)” When Title IX became law in 1972, athletics programs for young women in high school and college exploded across the country, but discomfort and self-consciousness kept many women and girls off the playing field. Then, five years later, in 1977, a 28-year-old woman named Lisa Lindahl decided to do something about the problem. She invented the sports bra. And if you think that's not a big deal, just ask the curators at the Smithsonian Museum of American History, where this history and the first prototype of the sports bra are preserved, because for many women, it literally made sports possible. Lisa Lindahl says it not only changed the world – it changed her.

When looking back at pandemics in modern history, the 1918 Spanish influenza stands out.  It took the lives of somewhere between 50 and 100 million people — and while it devastated the countries of the Global North, it took its greatest toll in the Global South.  Science writer Laura Spinney reflects on the similarities — and significant differences — between the Spanish flu and Covid-19.  She discusses how the pandemic took hold at the end of WW1 and struck down the young, and how many of the affected countries adopted universal healthcare in its wake. Resources: Laura Spinney, Pale Rider: The Spanish Flu of 1918 and How It Changed the World PublicAffairs, 2017 The post Lessons from the Spanish Influenza appeared first on KPFA.

We speak with Laura Spinney, science journalist and author of "Pale Rider: The Spanish Flu of 1918 and How It Changed the World" and discuss the dreadful disease that claimed 50-100 million lives, more than the Great War that preceded it.  The so-called 'Spanish Flu' caused global damage but also caused scientists to reflect and develop better science and public health strategies.  And it forced new measures implemented by governments.  But how much have we learned those lessons?  We discuss these topics.

Christopher Preble and John Glaser talk about how Donald Trump’s rise in the Republican primaries and eventually to the presidency represented an astonishing break with the foreign policy consensus that had prevailed from Harry Truman to Barack Obama. And they detail this more extensively in their book, Fuel to the Fire: How Trump Made America’s Broken Foreign Policy Even Worse, which is a comprehensive explanation of how Trump’s “America First” mentality was more a campaign slogan than a coherent vision of American grand strategy and foreign policy.How did Donald Trump change the messaging on foreign policy? Does the public support an adventurous foreign policy? What does the military think of Trump’s rhetoric? Does President Trump have a foreign policy doctrine?

The Spanish Flu of 1918 killed between 50 and 100 million people. It infected a third of the world’s population. But it’s likely that, if you’re thinking of the most important events of the 20th century, the Spanish Flu probably doesn’t immediately spring to mind. Why is that? To find out, and to explore exactly how it reshaped society, we talked with Laura Spinney, author of the book “Pale Rader: The Spanish Flu of 1918 and How It Changed the World.”

The Spanish flu of 1918-1920 was one of the greatest human disasters of all time. It infected a third of the people on Earth–from the poorest immigrants of New York City to the king of Spain, Franz Kafka, Mahatma Gandhi and Woodrow Wilson. But despite a death toll of between 50 and 100 million people, it exists in our memory as an afterthought to World War I. In this gripping narrative history, Laura Spinney traces the overlooked pandemic to reveal how the virus travelled across the globe, exposing mankind's vulnerability and putting our ingenuity to the test. As socially significant as both world wars, the Spanish flu dramatically disrupted–and often permanently altered–global politics, race relations and family structures, while spurring innovation in medicine, religion and the arts. It was partly responsible, Spinney argues, for pushing India to independence, South Africa to apartheid and Switzerland to the brink of civil war. It also created the true “lost generation.” Drawing on the latest research in history, virology, epidemiology, psychology and economics, Pale Rider: The Spanish Flu of 1918 and How It Changed the World (PublicAffairs, 2017) masterfully recounts the little-known catastrophe that forever changed humanity.
